“Young Noble, young noble.”
Two family mbers who ca down to see ng Fan strolling up the stairs retreated in their steps and caught up to him. One of them continued, “Young Noble, our minister asked us to ask you if you’re going to perform your dance for us?”
They were pretty engrossed in the character.
ng Fan beca alert imdiately. “Wait, am I not allowed?”
What the hell was he doing there if he wasn’t allowed to dance?
“No no no of course not.” The actor that had a hair sticking out of his mole looked at his partner and continued, “My minister has commanded that you cooperate with his procedure first before beginning your dance.”
ng Fan was suspicious. “Really?”
“Really.”
“Alright then.”
ng Fan reluctantly stepped down. If anything went wrong, then he would have to quickly give out his thumbs ups.
Of course, ng Fan was certain that Miss. Wang had intentionally tossed the silk ball to him—for it certainly wasn’t a stroke of luck—as ng Fan’s bulk and validation score had made sure of that.
It was probably because of his recent success with that Tik Tok video. Otherwise, they would avoid him like the plague.
Five minutes later, after going through the stage’s procedures, ng Fan stepped forward. “I’m already here; let dance for you all.”
This ti, the minister did not stop ng Fan, letting him dance for more than a minute. ng Fan managed 200 ‘thumbs ups’ in this ti, 200,000 experience points falling into his lap. He had already caught up with his total gains from yesterday.
Presently, he had accumulated 480,000 total ‘likes’.
ng Fan went down the stairs followed closely by the family servants. They specifically told him that they wouldn’t be calling him up again today, for it was not good for him to appear too frequently.
Upon hearing this, ng Fan confird his suspicion and eagerly asked, “Then, can I co back tomorrow?”
The servant nodded furiously.
Once ng Fan descended the wall, he left the city with a trail of blessings. He went around giving people complints and a thumbs up until he reached 500,000 likes before leaving Song Cheng.
Although there was no clear explanation, ng Fan felt he had ford a connection with the minister. With this stage, ng Fan felt no more use in running around fishing for likes. He was already getting lazy, and he had no more willpower to gesture with his arms.
Regardless, it was a talent in itself to pretend to be stupid while running around handing out positive energy.
Ideally, he could send out even more thumbs up gestures tomorrow so he could complete the task in the next few days.
To the minister, this collaboration was just another attraction for tourists outside the city wall. But to ng Fan, it was a platform for self-promotion. A one-ti opportunity to gain infinite points.
Both felt like they had benefitted, making it a win-win situation.
In addition, there was a class at 2:30 in the afternoon that ng Fan couldn’t miss, hence his early departure from Song Cheng. With his poisonous ‘validation’, ng Fan couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t be caught in the net this ti around.
“ng Fan, I didn’t look carefully last night, but I realized you really seem to be… a bit skinnier.”
After class, Wang Ya Nan, who had been sitting next to Zhang Zhou Wei, curiously asked him, “Are you really running every day?”
ng Fan was happy to hear this. “You think so? It seems like running is effective after all.”
Wang Ya Nan nodded intently. “No wonder, yesterday Dot couldn’t stop talking about how cute you were getting when we got back to the dorm.”
Dot shared a dormitory with Wang Ya Nan. Her nickna was Small Dot; however, her size was not dot-like at all. She was a tall girl, towering at 180 cm tall.
She had played volleyball since she was a child and joined the provincial reserve team when she was 14, then the official team at 16. At the age of 17, she had to forfeit out of high-intensity competition due to an accidental shoulder injury. Unwilling to retire at such a young age, the next year she applied to the art academy and beca top five in her class. She gave the impression that so people were just born badass!
As for why her nickna was Small Dot, it was because her legal na Jiao Xiao Ran contained a lot of dots in its spelling.
As for why they had to include the ‘Small’ in front of it… They probably hoped it would compensate for sothing.
Wang Ya Nan looked at ng Fan with deep sincerity and continued, “Now that you ntion it, the only person who could really call her Small Dot would be you.”
ng Fan was speechless. “And we’re back to the subject of being fat.”
Wang Ya Nan smiled. “I was talking about your height.”
After so more cheerful banter, they left the classroom. Wang Ya Nan and Zhang Zhou Wei headed off on a date, while ng Fan headed back to the dormitory to prepare for his evening run.
From the classroom to the building exit, ng Fan didn’t distribute a single ‘thumbs up’. However, he did receive a ssy array of them from passing students.
The entire school knew about him, never mind the people in his class.
After recharging with two bananas, ng Fan quickly completed his ten kiloters and headed back to feast until he was content. Who cared about scientific nutrition?
In his evening stream, ng Fan began drawing three illustrations for his novels. Once 8:00 hit and his na was listed on the recomnded list, he changed his channel na to ‘ Cute Pet Special.”
He had initially wanted to do a male character special tonight, for he had gained newfound confidence from his added ‘drawing skill’ attributes, but these skills still didn’t compare to his knack for drawing female characters and mythical creatures.
The first drawing was of Chopper. Previously, he had drawn him in a chibi gender-bent fashion, so this ti he decided to draw an adorable version of Chopper eating cotton candy.
The second and third illustrations were both of Nyanko-sensei from ‘Natsuu no Yuujinchou.’ One was him as a seifuku cat, one was him in monster form, one was of him being stupidly cute, and the last one was an explosively handso rendition of him.
The fourth drawing was Sadaharu from Gintama.
For the fifth drawing, he transferred his attention to Arican animations. He drew Toothless from ‘How to Train Your Dragon’, followed by a minion…
The recomnded section of the ‘drawing category’ on 8th Station was quite helpful. However, it was still a relatively unpopular category, so there was no way it could be compared to gaming and entertainnt categories and no explosive bursts of viewers.
After streaming for two hours, the online viewer count was at 20,000 by the ti ng Fan was ready to log off. This had been twice the previous amount, but it didn’t satisfy ng Fan’s expectation of gaining tens of thousands or even 100,000 viewers overnight.
Nonetheless, the recomndation had been very helpful.
Because of the recomndation and his increased sense of validation, the number of people who had wandered in ‘by mistake’ or ‘randomly’ also shot up. Tonight’s stream alone, the number of total viewers reached an astounding 46,000. That ratio had put a smile on ng Fan’s face.
His total number of views was 81,000 now. He could almost see the light at the other end that was the reward from task phase 2.
It was worth ntioning that ng Fan’s follower count for his stream increased a lot as well. Currently, he had 23,000 followers.
Compared to the number of viewers, this ratio was surprisingly high.
The next day, streaming began at the sa ti. Similarly, it went on for two hours. When he logged off and checked the numbers, ng Fan was surprised. His peak reached 11,000, consisting of 17,000 online viewers and 98,000 total views.
Evidently, yesterday’s recomndation had been very helpful, and its follow-up effect was brilliant as well.
It appeared his stream had the ability to retain an audience.
On the third day, ng Fan had been streaming for five minutes when the alert sounded in his ‘mind.’
“Beep! Total stream viewers have reached 100,000. You’ve completed [Famous Strear] Task phase 2. Reward: Points 10, Charm 1”
“Gotta go to the bathroom.”
ng Fan whispered to his stream viewers, then got up to leave. He took a long look in the bathroom mirror. Honestly speaking, he didn’t see any change in his appearance after the 1 Charm.
“This better not be another taphysical attribute!”
ng Fan considered it. Maybe he was too familiar with himself so he didn’t notice it. As for how to verify it, that was another problem. He couldn’t just run up to a random person and ask if he got more charming.
Silently, he returned to his seat and continued his stream.
Today’s stream attraction remained above 10,000 the whole ti, attracting a steady 15,000 online viewers.
“You look like you’re in a good state today.”
The administrator who had been pursuing her TV dramas greeted ng Fan.
“Good state? Is this the impact of my increased charm?”
ng Fan mumbled to himself as he left the studio. He didn’t dwell on it too much and planned to get a good night’s rest once he got back. The next morning, he had to head to Song Cheng after class.
The last two days ng Fan had gone to Song Cheng, he gained about 20,000 ‘likes’ each day.
If he could earn 6 validation points at once and receive the power that would co with it, both good and bad, ng Fan felt intense just thinking about it.
“Hello, can you help again?”
ng Fan just left the studio when a girl called him.
He looked up. Wasn’t this the cute petite girl with freckles?
The girl had been ‘frightened’ twice by ng Fan, yet here she was asking him for help. Could this be the effect of his added charm that had earned him her trust?
Or did this girl co for revenge under the cover of asking for help, setting a trap?
She wouldn’t!
